[Good day to you, Havenwell. It's time for another round of Magolor blowing up your tablets with his energetic presence. Did you miss him? He's as peppy today as ever:]

Hello everyone! It's me, your friend Magolor. Just so you know, I'm making progress on getting some time in the archives and compiling everything we need to pass along to our generous hosts. I'll definitely update everyone once I'm through all that! ♥

But in the meantime, there is another side of things here in our little community. One of the things I realized while talking to all of you last month is that we've all got our own unique skills to offer one another too. Things the natives will never be able to provide us as well as we can provide to one another! But it's impossible to keep track of who's offering what without some kind of resource available about it, so that's why I'm sending all of you this document to share!

No pressure or anything, of course. But if you're looking to make some connections and get your talents out there, you'd be doing yourself and everyone else a big favor by filling it out! ♥

[And after this, a link to a public document, as promised. Useful? Well, we'll see.]



(( This spreadsheet is an IC resource to be filled out ICly by each character! So feel free to contribute to it straightforwardly, sarcastically, or not at all, as your character would prefer. Nothing is stopping anyone from putting in anything they want, including characters filling it out for other characters—but ofc clear it with the other player first if you go that route! ))

The natives? I doubt it. They've evolved beyond the need for such worldly mysteries! At least when it comes to food. I don't know if they've evolved beyond the need for forges and kilns too. Do they 3-D print their own body parts? . . . But that's a tangent. It has a lot less to do with me than the pie does.

[begguiling]

Is that how it was? I take it you weren't very well off growing up.

[He dares. He dares to peek! He's been curious for a while.]

[begguiling]

So in other words, it's not actually just about food at all. Glad we cleared that up ♥

[unfavorableinstigation]

I haven't seen much of that used publicly; they might have it locked away in the labs...

[And people have to work up the social ladder to get to see inside those; it's on Nita's list.

As to that last part, she almost-laughs.]

Is there anything that has more to do with you than pie? Right now, I mean?

[thekingsshield]

Aw, it wasn't so bad. Sure, I didn't have a Ma or a Pa, but I had my pals! What more could you need than that?

[zapdope]

Uh... It's still the majority of the things there? I dunno, it feels like you're just trying to get info about people's replicators?

[yaoyoroshka]

[The anecdote teases out an amused laugh from her, though she's polite enough to attempt to stifle it.]

I'm sure they still look majestic, mobility struggles aside.

[As for the latter information:]

I think it's perfect! If it'll help make people here feel more at ease, then I'd like to help out. I do have experience in patrol work, so hopefully he wouldn't mind taking me under his wing—

2/2 u_u

[yaoyoroshka]

[A beat, before she realizes...]

T-That was unintentional, I promise!

[begguiling]

I see, so it's like that. I didn't either, but that's not anything out of the ordinary for my kind!

[For as cute and happy a corner of the universe as it is, Kirby World is not really about most characters having any kind of family at all.]

Did something happen?

[begguiling]

Ahhh, you're making fun of me! I've worked so hard on this, you know? It's not just about pie at all! But I admit it . . . even my workaholic self always has an extra space for dessert. Who doesn't?

[begguiling]

Hehehe! That was a good one, though! Are you sure you don't want to take credit for it?

[begguiling]

Oh noooo, you caught me. I'm so ashamed. You figured me out! You'd better go tell everyone else about my nasty plot before it's too late.

[He is still smiling into the camera. But while Magolor is very, very hard to genuinely irritate, this conversation managed it, and his entire tone is deeply p/a and snippy even though he's layered over it with sweetness. He is not really trying to hide it, either.]

[thekingsshield]

Something happen?

[His life is full of "somethings" happening! He pus a hand to his chin and tilts his head, mulling the question over.]

Hmmmm... Well... I guess somethin' must've happened for me not to have a Ma or a Pa, but I dunno what. Most of us in the orphanage didn't know what happened to 'em. But since it never mattered, we never really thought about it!

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita laughs.]

Yeah, fair. A community resource is a community resource!

And it'd be hard to find someone brought here who doesn't like dessert. Or smoothies!

[zapdope]

[ WOW THAT P/A.....!!! And to know he's doing it on purpose makes it even worse. ]

You don't have to say it like that, geez! Whatever...

[ If his friend doesn't mind sharing it then Zenitsu doesn't have much to say in it anyways. Not that he'll go fill it out himself, no. ]

[begguiling]

[Maybe he sprung fully formed from the planet. Magolor would believe it.]

That's a good way to look at it! However things started, you're pretty happy with how they've ended up now, right?

[thekingsshield]

Sure! Makes all the hard work, hunger, muggings, and nearly dyin' a few times really worth it!

[Things not to drop so casually - that.]

[begguiling]

[He gives Goofy a careful, but mild, look through the camera. There are times when Magolor has to wonder if Goofy himself isn't putting up a flawless front, and comments like this are his mask slipping just the tiniest bit for his own entertainment at Magolor's expense. It's surely not true, but all the same, he has to ask himself, just once in a while . . .

Though honestly, if Goofy were playing him, he'd deserve the win. Magolor will take the L. So after that beat, he shrugs and smiles again, seamlessly.]

This place really isn't that bad in comparison, I guess. At least I don't know anyone's ever been mugged here! It's almost suspiciously peaceful.

[begguiling]

Smoothies, huh? Is that in demand, or is that your own stomach speaking for you this time?

[begguiling]

Say it like what? I'm just not sure what else to say. Why don't you tell me~?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita shakes her head.]

Just a party I went to recently. You know Aera?

[zapdope]

No way! You've already tricked me once, I'm not gonna fall for it again!

[thekingsshield]

[Silly Magolor, tricks are for kids.]

Suspiciously? How do you mean?

[yaoyoroshka]

I think I'd pass for now.

Ah, but there! I've filled it out. Apologies for not having much to offer on the replicator side of things, however.

[begguiling]

I do! She's apparently a goldsmith!

[According to this file now, anyway!]

She hosted a party with smoothies, huh?
